With a 34 mm case that is 8 mm thick, this Excellanc watch sits neatly on most wrists without looking oversized or lost. The round case is a slim, close-fitting shape, which makes it easy to slide under a cuff or wear on its own.
The case is metal in a gold-tone finish, set against a silver-toned dial. The dial combines Arabic numerals with baton indexes, so the time is quick to read at a glance, and the small sparkling stones catch the light with every movement of the wrist. The effect is bright but restrained, closer to a piece of jewellery than a statement watch.
The strap is black faux leather, 14 mm wide, and closes with a pin buckle, so you can set the length hole by hole. Total length is 23.5 cm including the case, and the whole watch weighs just 27 g, which you will barely notice during a full day. Stacked with a few thin bangles, it works well as part of a layered, jewellery-led look, and you will find similar pieces in our women's jewellery watches.
Inside is a PC21 quartz movement with an analogue display. It is simple and dependable, and in practice only the battery needs replacing from time to time. The glass is mineral.
At this price it is an inexpensive watch, which also makes it a sensible gift idea for someone who likes a touch of gold-tone shine with a black strap. Our guide on how to look after your watch is worth a read to keep it looking good for longer.
